I'm sure it's just coincidence that FarCry 2 shows almost NO gain, clock for clock, over the original Phenom. As for the comments about whether or not running Phenom-II at 6.8 GHz with liquid helium is important or not, who cares? People did the same sort of overclocking trials with i7 and...

I think people are also missing the point that i7 is currently still a halo product and won't be Intel's mainstream product until late this year.

By Kyle's reasoning? Because "they've never done it that way". He still can't explain why, if the move to 4GB provides no performance advantage, he used 4GB of RAM in the QX9770 system and 6GB instead of 3GB in the i7 system.

Those reviews don't insult AMD's engineers or say that the product should never have been released. Instead they look at the processor's merits, its inadequacies, and provide a full set of results that support their conclusions.

Kyle at HardOCP has a number of issues that I find very disturbing in his review. First of all, he has only supplied his Phenom-II rig with 2GB of RAM while the C2Q and i7 come with 4GB and 6GB respectively. His argument for this is evidently that running 4GB of RAM on the Phenom-II would...

Thanks for being completely irrelevant, guys. Now, back on topic. If you're looking for a board with Crossfire support, the ASUS M2R32-MVP would probably be your best bet. If you're not looking for multi-GPU support (at least with an ATI card), I'd suggest one of the Asus M2N32 boards (the...
